FAQs
Are these pliers insulated for electrical work?
No, these pliers are not VDE rated or insulated for high-voltage work. Do not use them on live electrical circuits.
What is the length of the tools in this set?
Each tool in this set measures approximately 6 inches in length.
Can I use these for outdoor gardening?
Yes, they can be used for light gardening tasks such as cutting thin wire or light-duty bending, but be sure to wipe them clean and dry after use to prevent rust.
What material are the handles made of?
The handles are made of an ergonomic, rubberized slip-resistant material designed for comfort and control.
Does this set include a storage case?
The set comes as three loose tools; it does not include a dedicated carrying case, making them perfect for fitting into an existing tool bag.
Troubleshooting
Pliers become stiff and difficult to open.
Apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot point and work the handles back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
Surface rust appears on the metal.
Use a fine-grit abrasive pad or steel wool to gently remove the rust, then wipe clean and apply a thin coat of oil to protect the surface.
Cutting edges are not producing a clean cut.
Check for debris between the blades or damage to the cutting edge. If the blades are dull, they may need professional sharpening or replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pliers require no assembly; they are ready for use immediately out of the packaging. To ensure maximum longevity, wipe the tools down with a clean, dry cloth after working in humid environments to remove moisture. Although the tools feature a nickel coating, storing them in a dry location will further prevent oxidation. Avoid using the side cutters on hardened steel or high-tensile wire, as this can cause pitting or damage to the cutting edge. Periodically apply a light drop of machine oil to the pivot point of each tool to maintain smooth opening and closing action.
